Bills after bills but

Vamp Two:
Too good to stop now Father
I wanna give you thanks some more
All the things I’ve been through now

When I think about all You’ve done
And how You’ve opened up every door
I can’t help to say thank you
And if You wanna help me get up off the floor

(Vamp One)

(Vamp Two)(repeat 3x)

My Mama Gave Me Up When I Was Four Years Old
She Didn’t Destroy My Body But She Killed My Soul
Now It’s Cold ‘cause I’m Sleeping In My Back Seat
Understand The Spirit’s Willing But My Flesh Is Weak
Let Me Speak, I Never Had A Chance To Dream
Ten Years Old Finding Love In Dirty Magazines
Ms. December You Remember I Bought You Twice
Now I’m Thirty Plus And Still Paying The Price
Had A Sister That I Barely Knew
Kind Of Got Separated By The Age Of Two
Same Mama Different Daddy So We Couldn’t Fake It
I Saw My Sister’s Daddy Beat Her In The Tub Naked
Take It Serious The Demons In The Man’s Mind
The Same Daddy With Rape Charges Now He’s Doing Time
Crack Followed And Like Daddy Prison Thirteen Years
Haven’t Her But She’s Traded Tears For Fears

[chorus]
Shout. Shout
Let It All Out
These Are The Things I Can Do Without
So Come On
I’m Talking To You
So Come On

Sex Was How I Made It Through
Without Someone To Teach You Love What Else Is There To Do?
So Where I’m From They Call You Gay And Say You Ain’t A Man
Show Them You Ain’t No Punk
Get All The Girls You Can
A Simple Plan That Still Haunts Me Even Now Today
Back To Seventeen And Got A Baby On The Way
No G.e.d. All I See Is Failure In My Eyes
If You Listening Then Remember I Apologize
I Was Raised Falling In The Church
Made Mistakes Heard The Lord’s Calling In The Church
After Service On The Parking Lot Getting High
Wanted To Be Excepted So Bad I Was Willing To Die
Even Tried To Tell The Pastor But He Couldn’t See
Years Of Low Self Esteem And Insecurities
Church Taught Me How To Shout And How To Speak In Tongues
But Preacher Teach Me How To Live Now When The Tongue Is Done, Help Me

[chorus]

See I’m. See I’m
Soul Surviver. Soul Surviver
World Surviver
I Just Wanna Let It Go
World Surviver, Soul Surviver
Just Wanna Let It Go

Jesus Please On My Knees Can’t You Hear My Crying
You Said To Put It In Your Hands And Lord I’m Really Trying
You Wasn’t Lying When You Said You’d Reap What You Sow
Like That Night Mama Died
Hard To Let It Go
You Adopted Me
Cared For Me
And Changed My Name
But I Cursed At You
Lied To You
Left Your Pain
It’s Not Strange I Can Still See It In My Head
To Know For Hours You Were Laying In That Bed
If You Listening To This Record,
If It’s Day Our Night
If Your Mama Still Living Treat Your Mama Right
Don’t Be Like Me And Let That Moment Slip Away
And Be Careful Cause You Can’t Take Back What You Say
To My Real Mama If You Listening I’m Letting It Go
To My Father I Forgive You ‘cause You Didn’t Know
The Pain Was Preparation For My Destiny
And One More Thing Lord Let My Son Be A Better Man Than Me

[chorus 2x]

Oh Oh Lord Oh Lord
Gather Around Me Now Ooh
When I Must Breed Oh Lord
My Last Breath Inside Ooh
But Lord In My Dying Hour Aah Aah Aah
Stay With Me Lord Ooh Ooh Ooh

Oh Oh Lord
My Friends Are Gather Around
They Watching Me Slowly
I’m Slowly Sinking Down
But Lord In My Dying Hour
Stay With Me Lord

Well And Now Lord Be With Me Jesus
And Now Lord Be With Me Jesus
And Now Jesus Be With Me Jesus
Time Has Come
When I Must Leave
My Earthly Home
Friend Gather Around
Tears In Their Eyes
They Know That I
I’m About To Dye
But I’m Not Worried
I’m Not Afraid
Cause I Know You Will Do Jesus
Just What You Said
Promise Me
If I Live Right
Said Your Be With Me Lord
Day And Night
Say I’m Not Worried
Of Dying
Not Leave Me Now

Oh Oh Lord
I Know You’ll Stand By Me
When I’m In Trouble
When I’m In Misery

Stay With Me Lord

Oh Oh Lord
I Know You Would Stand By Your Word
When Ever I Call You
I Know You Always Heard
Lord In My Dying Hour
Stay With Me Lord

Oh Now Lord
I Say Farewell
Farewell
To My Friend Out Here
I Know Others
Waiting For Me Up There

Oh Oh Lord
Talking About Waiting On Me
What A Reunion
I Know That That Will Be
Lord In My Dying Hour
Stay With Me Lord

Oh And Now Lord
Now Lord Lord
Right Now
We Need You Lord
Is It Anybody Out There
That Need Him Like I Do
I Need Him
In My Home
I Need Him
Everyday
As I Walk
This Narrow Way
Don’t Leave Me
When My Way Get Dark
I Get All By Myself
When Don’t Nobody Want To Be Bother With Me
I Get All By Myself
I Just Call Him
Oh Jesus
I Wanna Thank Him Right Now
Clothes On My Back
Shoes On My Feet
Want He Make A Way
